TAXI.RIO - Passageiro

TAXI.RIO is a mobility app developed by the City Hall of Rio de Janeiro to ensure quality and safety for taxi users. The app allows users to apply for a taxi that is up to date with all necessary registrations and certifications. The service offers various discount options and clearly shows the amount payable, without any hidden fees. The app also includes features such as driver validation, real-time car tracking, route preview, estimated time of arrival, and payment by credit card. Future developments planned for the app include an iOS version, in-app messaging, integrated payment, targeting taxis based on payment methods, corporate client services, and more.
